*Athletes participating in winter sports other than track & field will end their season with the WCAC Championship instead of continuing to the Maryland Private School State Championship.
**These postseason meets are not school-sanctioned events. Athletes must register themselves for the regional event(s) if they wish to participate and must then qualify to compete at either sponsor's National Championship. Nike does not appear to have much guidance regarding how to qualify from the regional meet to the national meet as an individual.
